#28 problems with entries created by Epocware Handy Calendar
When creating a DayEvent which is repeated (not an anniversary) within Epocware Handy Calendar, the repeating instances of the event won't be displayed within ComingNext.
Technical details: Epocware Handy Calendar produces different calendar entries then the buildin calendar. Here is a comparision between a repeating event created by the buildin calendar and by Epocware Handy Calendar:
id=17ab2892-9014-3932-8825-11155ab843cb
Type=Meeting
CalendarName=C:calendar
Summary=Created with buildin calendar
Location=
Status=NullStatus
StartTime=Saturday, 30 September, 2010 00:00:00
EndTime=Sunday, 01 October, 2010 00:00:00
InstanceStartTime=Friday, 30 September, 2011 00:00:00
InstanceEndTime=Saturday, 01 October, 2011 00:00:00
-----------------------------------------------
id=20110929221432375375
Type=DayEvent
CalendarName=C:calendar
Summary=Created with Epocware Handy Calendar
StartTime=Thursday, 30 September, 2010 00:00:00
EndTime=Friday, 01 October, 2010 00:00:00
The entry created by Epocware Handy Calendar does not have the proper InstanceStartTime property. This is the reason why ComingNext thinks the event has already passed and will not show it.
Epocware stated that their software is not Symbian^3 compatible and will never be. It might work in most cases, but there are serious issues concerning the synchronization with the new Nokia standard calendar (multi-calendar).
Since this is a Handy Calendar issue and not a ComingNext issue, and because there is no workaround available for this, I will close this bug as "Won't fix".
